Sojufueled Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 You know the story, right? What the hell is he thinking? Let's operate under the premise that the Emperor believes stupid people can't see his clothes. Then why does he go out in public? Either he has entirely too much faith in the general public, or he's okay with being seen naked by some portion of the kingdom. You'd think the kid would shout, "The Emperor's naked!" and ole' Emps would think, "Found the dumbass." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the point also includes all the people around buying in to that concept. That everyone is pretending to see the fine clothes because no one wants to call it out and possibly reveal themselves a fool. So sort of a peer pressure type thing of people acting foolish to fit in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(PSN)Caerith Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 The point of the story isn't to be believable. Nobody believes that a talking frog carried a talking scorpion across a river, but it's certainly easy to remember its lesson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
